Thank you for the reply. So it's a known g++ issue with a candidate patch. Looking at the patch, I was wondering, what precludes the generic vector types form being proper arithmetic types?
In some cases vectors act like arithmetic types (operator+, etc), and in others they don't (conversions in general). We have scalarish_type_p for things that are scalars or vectors, we could add arithmeticish_type_p ;-)
(I think the name arithmetic comes directly from the standard, so we don't want to change its meaning)
